EYE CREAMS

Eye creams do more than you think. Learn why they are just as important as moisturizers.

The reality is that we just aren't as concerned about looking after the skin around our eyes as we are with caring for our complexion in general. But, the truth is, the eye contour needs extra attention. Why? Keep reading to find out.

The skin around the eye contour is four times thinner than the skin on the rest of the face; plus, it’s subject to more movement, making it less resistant. The area also has fewer collagen and elastin fibers, as well as fewer sebaceous glands, which means your eyes are more prone to premature aging.

Outside of the physical composition of the skin, there are other factors that influence the visual appearance of this area. For instance, fluid retention or poor nutrition may lead to puffiness and the look of tiredness, whereas genetics or poor circulation can contribute to dark circles. So, to keep the eye contour looking youthful, incorporate a revitalizing eye serum or cream that helps you combat your target concern.
